Abstract

Thin insulating films are known to be excellent electron emitters. They are widely applied as cover material for conductive electrodes in devices where the performance critically depends on the secondary electron emission yield. Well known examples are Micro Channel Plates [1] and Plasma Display Panels [2]. In recent years, a lot of research has been devoted to find stable materials with the highest possible electron yield and to study the underlying mechanisms for electron emission. In spite of these research efforts, the emission mechanisms are not yet understood in detail and research continues.
